Спасибо

[adrianmusic2009]

BEAUTIFUL.

[Jscola30]

looks like you can get a DVD of it at the joy of music website, it's called Masters of Music part 1

[skipkuj]

i just love when he starts to play the organ

its so magnificent, and glorius

1812 is a fovurite of mine but this version is probably the best.

[billy12080]

the Cannon Fire was just about 1/4 beat off. I know this score well.

[octavebasse8]

@billy12080 Just the way it should be! I like a bit of delay with my cannon shots.

[militarytrombone]

This is awesome starting at 2:48!

[pvmuskosming]

MEGA SUPER SUPER BRAVICIMO THANKS BISH + CHORUS FROM MEXICO MORE MORE MORE!!!

[godzilloid]

The audience is now deaf.

[revengejeffrey21]

Very Godly.

[brharrell]

Organist is reading full score. Should be fairly easily done. Taste and balance are a must depending on the ensemble.

[pmzephyr22]

OH COOL! It's Little House on the Prairie Lady directs Ruskie War music! She forgot her bonnet. LOVE the big bow on the riser too, nice touch.

[WBBugleBoy]

Is this a Bish arrangement? The only thing I don't really like about it are the chimes going CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG but other than that, awesome arrangement!

[ZacPB189]

@WBBugleBoy There are clanging bells in the original. It's not an arrangement. The only thing "abnormal" in the organist playing the off-stage band part.

[poopingeneral]

I cried joy!

[HsoJosH88]

I love the face she makes as she cues the organ! Priceless!

[MrThomasm95]

Where can I get the sheet music for the arrangement this recording. I am a organist and orchestra conductor as well and would be thrilled to have my orchestra perform this piece!

[RampGuy1]

My question is about the man at the organ. Is he the current organist at Coral Ridge? Or did he just come in for this concert? He is very talented as well.

[bishfan]

I'm not exactly sure, but quite a bit about him can be found in Diane's Biography.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

@bishfan He's in a few of the other videos also, there's one where Diane is playing the organ and he's on the piano. I forget what song it was.

[up27a]

@bishfan looks like garret f martin, i think he is one of the current organists at Coral Ridge... hes a really talented guy, he even has his own yt channel... go check it out

[bishfan]

@up27a It's Nicholas Bowden. His name was listed earlier in the program.

[up27a]

@bishfan if only i could get a better shot of his face, i mightve known it was bowden

[morpheus8705]

@RampGuy1 That recording is from the late 80s, definitely. No clue who the current organist is, but Nick Bowden is in Atlanta as the Principle Organist at Peachtree Pres. I believe he will still tour and play in concerts, though, so a guest performance like this would not be uncommon these days.

Nick has lost quite a lot of hair since then... haha

[RampGuy1]

@morpheus8705 Thank you for the update. I had no idea that this recording was 20 years ago. But now that you mentioned it, looking at some of the hairstyles, I can see that they are definitley 80's hairdos. I wish people would start including the dates on their videos. lol Once again, thank you.

[CoutureOrganiste]

@RampGuy1 The organist in this video is Nicholas Bowden who was a pupil of Diane's. He has been Organist and Associate Director of Music at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, GA since 1996.

[Organist6792]

@RampGuy1 No he isnt the current Organist at Coral Ridge. The current Senior Organist is Samuel Metzger. I do know that Diane Bish does play every now and then for services at Coral Ridge though.

[theshow2k]

Did Diane Bish arrange that version? I know the piece and I think that the choir-part is played by the organ or something like that...

[Egestus18]

does anyone know a really good recording of this piece? with an organ part as "agressive" than this one? really like it, it should be like this :)

[bishfan]

This is the most aggressive organ part that I've seen thus far.

[Egestus18]

this piece allways gets me goosebumps, but i never before heard it with organ... OH MY GOD

this rocks so much....

[parquar]

1:35 = god

[ProTwoAm]

Exquisite performance.  Ms. Diane is wonderful. :)

[GermanoDeppe]

She conducts so well! Brava!

[FeikeAsmaFan]

Diane Bish is really fantastic!

right, she' s the first lady of the organ indeed....

[tduser1]

It sounds like this symphony and Diane would blow you of your feet!!

[usspike]

Magnificent! There's a reason it's called the 'King of Instruments.'

[wavejaco]

Truly amazing! I never knew Diane Bish conducts as well... This version of the 1812 is so wonderful! What a joy! I wish I could be the organist there... ;-)

[praisethelord333]

she is realy a good show-lady! i mean she can make good music shows with big power! and she is mor serieus than virgil fox or Cameron Carpenter. she is reala a great lady!

[misolre]

Marvellous! Diane, you are fantastic!!!

[vinniecaruso]

this was intense. i love diane's mean mug look at 3:53 lol

[zcardinal]

Fantástico! Diane Bish regendo! Soberbo! A entrada do órgão de tubo dá uma sensação de pompa e grandiosidade!

[MoTabChoir01]

We've never heard it w/ the organ before...

[dondonp12004]

I have, back in 2004 when my family and I saw the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Erich Kunzel (rest in peace). The organ part I heard in the Seattle Symphony's performance of the 1812 Overture at Benaroya Hall is the same as the optional brass band parts.

[Streetcar1743]

I love that piece with the organ!

[0627nmp]

It looks like she is standing on a ottoman(sp?)?

[mmill105]

Incredible. Is this an arrangement by her?

[bishfan]

Not sure.

[333666666]

There is an organ part in the original, as the theme is a proper Russian Orthodox hymn, a "kontakion". The slow and soft opening is correctly taken as organ and choir, but hardly ever performed that way. And the last refrain is "God Save the Czar".

[caddyorganist]

Sounds like the original to me.

[Thepianoorganist]

it could be i know she likes to add organ parts to the pieces she said that in a interview

[etbuk]

Fantastic!!!!!!! ***************

[JSB1983]

I LOVE IT!

The best rendition of a terribly overplayed piece!

Way to set a standard, Diane!

[jv04jm]

who is the organist?

[caddyorganist]

Nicholas Bowden

[JLGARCIAII]

I love the mullet at 1:40.
